The Mayweather Merchant Spat

They are and so me and Larry are part of the zeitgeist in modern boxing. The boos were from the arena and the boards and the flipflopping between huggers and none huggers. To a degree we respresent the Larry is cool brigade. It's only Flomos that really see no issue with what Floyd did.

I genuinely have no idea what your post means. Could you repeat it again in English please?

Basically that me and Larry are right and I think this captures the majority of views. Larry was right in calling out FLoyd, otherwise a controversial moment would have been given no coverage.

Thanks Miles - I agree that Floyd was out of order in his response and even if angry should have refrained from profanity. Merchant should have kept his mouth shut though as he made himself look a right idiot by threatening to kick floyd's ass 50 years ago. He only did that because he knew that his age protected him from any physical consequences of his actions.

The post here that I really disagree with is Bilbo's idiotic claim that Floyd should be banned from boxing and prosecuted in court for threatening behaviour. Ironically, by acting so disproportionately because of his anger he is acting exactly like Floyd did, which makes me laugh as I can guess how much he'll love being told that his behaviour is identical to that of a man he holds in such high esteem.

Chris Arreola got banned from boxing for six months for this. You tell who me acted worse?

Floyd is a role model for millions of youngsters, especially black youth's. He should be made an example of to show that kind of behaviour is not acceptable for anybody.

But that wasn't what you said at the beginning was it? You said (and I quote): "Floyd should be in court for what he did imo." despite no legal offence having been committed. Just because Mayweather is a role model that doesn't mean that you can make up laws that are applicable to him and nobody else. You over-reacted mate, don't worry about it, it could happen to anybody.

It happened to Mayweather on Saturday night. he over-reacted, just like you did here. The only difference was that he over-reacted in the heat of the moment just after having won a fight and being criticised by someone who has long been on his case whereas you over-reacted on a bulletin board two days after the event with no pressure on you.

Just like Mayweather though, you refuse to admit that you were wrong. Are you sure you're not related?
